A Bramley motorcyclist who died in a road traffic collision on the A647 Stanningley Road has been named as 30-year-old Christopher Maidens.

Mr Maidens suffered serious injuries and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Emergency services were called at around 6.10pm on Sunday, 5 February, to the incident.

Sergeant Mathew Tunney, of the West Yorkshire Police Major Collision Enquiry Team, said:

“We are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed this incident or who may have seen either the Suzuki motorbike or the Volvo driving in the area at around this time.

“Officers are also trying to establish Christopher’s whereabouts before the collision took place so we would ask anyone he was with on Sunday to please get in contact.”

The driver of the Volvo stopped at the scene and has assisted police with their enquiries.
